Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a vane-type rotary compressor, applicable for such as an automotive air conditioner system. More specifically, the invention relates to a light weight vane-type rotary compressor which is free from influence of heat.
  • Japanese Patent First (unexamined) Publication Showa 61-89991 discloses a light weight vane-type rotary compressor.
  • the principle components i.e. cam ring, rotor and an inlet-side side plate are formed of aluminium-type metal.
  • a compressor mechanism comprising the rotor, vane, can ring and so forth, is housed within a cover shell in order to suppress variation of substantially small clearance between the cam ring and the rotor.
  • the cam ring defines an essentially oval or elliptic rotor receptacle opening in order to house the rotor which carries a plurality of rotor vanes.
  • the rotor is supported by a rotor shaft which is driven by a drive, such as an automotive internal combustion engine and disposed in the rotor receptacle opening of the cam ring to define a substantially small clearance at the smallest diameter section.
  • the rotor vanes are received within radial grooves formed in the rotor and moves toward and away from the inner periphery of the rotor receptacle opening to establish fluid tight seal and thus to define pressure chambers.
  • the rotor is cooperative with the the inner periphery of the rotor receptacle opening for varying the volume of the pressure chamber over each cycle of rotor revolution to repeat compressor cycles which includes strokes of induction, compression and discharge.
  • the clearance can vary due to temperature difference between the rotor and cam ring. Namely, compressing the fluid in the compression stroke, heat is generated which raises the temperature of the cam ring and the rotor. When the cam ring is exposed to the atmosphere, the heat transferred to the cam ring is radiated. On the other hand, since the rotor is enclosed in the rotor receptacle opening in the cam ring, it may cause thermal expansion much greater than that caused in the cam ring.
  • the cam ring and rotor are formed of a the aluminium type metal or metals having substantially the same linear expansion coefficient.
  • the assembly of the compressor mechanism is enclosed in the shell cover so as to reduce radiation of the heat from the cam ring so as to minimize temperature difference between the cam ring and the rotor.
  • the shell cover may cause increasing weight which is against the task for reduction of the weight of the unit.
  • the shell cover may incur additional cost to cause rising of the production cost.
  • the shell cover is regarded as inevitable component because exposure of the cam ring to the atmosphere may cause substantial temperature difference between the can ring and the rotor, which temperature difference may cause contact between the outer periphery of the rotor and the inner periphery of the rotor receptacle opening of the cam ring. This may cause burning on of the rotor onto the cam ring.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a vane-type rotary compressor which can avoid necessity of the shell cover without causing substantial influence of the temperature difference of a rotor and a cam ring.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a vane-type rotary compressor which is inexpensive and achieving satisfactory reduction of the weight of assembly.
  • a vane-type rotary compressor employs a cam ring made of an aluminium type metal which is different from the metal to form a rotor and rotor vanes and has a linear expansion coefficient selected to be greater than that of the metal of the rotor and vanes.
  • a vane-type rotary compressor comprises:
  • a rotor drivingly associated with a driving power source to be driven to rotate
  • cam ring assembly defining an enclosed non-circular opening, in which said rotor is disposed to define a clearance which varies between a minimum clearance and a maximum clearance at different sections, said cam ring assembly including a cam ring body;
  • each pressure chamber varying volume to increase during induction stroke and to decrease during compressing and discharging stroke according to variation of clearance;
  • induction means communicated with said pressure chamber, for supplying a fluid to be pressurized into said pressure chamber in said induction stroke;
  • discharge means communicated with said pressure chamber, for discharging pressurized fluid in said pressure chamber in said compressing and discharge stroke;
  • said rotor, cam ring assembly and said vanes are formed with light weight materials, in which at least said cam ring body is formed of a light weight material having greater linear expansion coefficient in thermal expansion than that of remaining components made of light weight material.
  • the cam ring body may have an external periphery exposed to an atmosphere to radiate a heat created during compressor operation.
  • the light weight material may be a light metal.
  • the light metal is an aluminium type metal.
  • the cam ring body may be made of a light weight material having a linear expansion coefficient which is greater than the light weight material of said rotor for compensating temperature difference between said cam ring body and said rotor.
  • the cam ring assembly further comprises a pair of side plates closing both axial ends of said cam ring body, and material of said side plates and material of said rotor are so selected as to maintain a predetermined clearance therebetween.
  • a vane-type rotary compressor for an automotive air conditioner system comprises:
  • a rotor drivingly associated with an automotive engine to be driven for rotation at a rotation speed corresponding to revolution speed of said engine
  • cam ring assembly defining an enclosed non-circular opening, in which said rotor is disposed to define a clearance which varies between a minimum clearance and a maximum clearance at different sections, said cam ring assembly including a cam ring body;
  • each pressure chamber varying volume to increase during induction stroke and to decrease during compressing and discharging stroke according to variation of clearance;
  • induction means communicated with said pressure chamber, for supplying a fluid to be pressurized into said pressure chamber in said induction stroke;
  • discharge means communicated with said pressure chamber, for discharging pressurized fluid in said pressure chamber in said compressing and discharge stroke;
  • said rotor, cam ring assembly and said vanes are formed with light weight materials, in which at least said cam ring body is formed of a light weight material having greater linear expansion coefficient in thermal expansion than that of remaining components made of light weight material.

  • the rotor 4 comprises an essentially cylindrical main body 4a and cylindrical shaft sections 4b and 4c axially extending from both of front and rear axial ends of the main body.
  • the cylindrical shaft sections 4b and 4c extends through the front and the rear side plates 2 and 3 and rotatably supported by means of bearings 6A and 6B.
  • the cylindrical shaft section 4b is connected to a driving power source, such as an automotive internal combustion engine, via an appropriate power train, such as pulley and belt.
  • the main body 4a of the rotor 4 has front and rear end planes opposing to the inner planner surfaces of the front and rear side plates 2 and 3 with substantially small clearances defined therebetween.
  • the clearance between the axial end faces of the rotor and the mating surfaces of the front and the rear side plates 2 and 3 will be hereafter referred to as "side clearance”.
  • the rotor 4 has the circumferential surface opposing to the inner periphery of the rotor receptacle opening 1a of the cam ring 1 with a clearance.
  • the clearance between the circumferential circuit of the rotor and the inner periphery of the rotor receptacle opening will be hereafter referred to as "top clearance.”
  • the top clearance varies to be maximum at the largest diameter section of the elliptic rotor receptacle opening and minimum at the smallest diameter section.
  • the rotor is formed with a pressurized fluid path in a known manner to supply a pressurized fluid to the bottom portion of the radially extending grooves for exerting a fluid pressure to the associated rotor vanes 5 for constantly establishing fluid tight contact between the tip end of the rotor vanes 5 and the inner periphery of the rotor receptacle opening 1a for defining a plurality of pressure chambers 12A, 12B . . . in an annular chamber 14 formed between the outer periphery of the rotor 4 and the inner periphery of the rotor receptacle opening 1a.
  • the cam ring 1 is formed with an inlet 13A and an outlet 13B. Respective of the inlet 13A and the outlet 13B open at the smallest diameter section.
  • the induction port 13A is communicated with an induction chamber 8 which is defined between the front side plate 2 and a front cover 7 and communicated with an induction port 7a formed through the front cover 7.
  • the outlet 13B is in fluid communication with a discharge chamber 11 which is defined between the rear side plate 3 and a rear cover 9.
  • the discharge chamber 11 is in fluid communication with a discharge port 9a defined through the rear cover.

  • the movable plate 2B is formed with a pair of cut outs 2a.
  • the cut outs 2a selectively establish and block fluid communication by-passing between the induction chamber 8 and the pressure chamber 12A, 12B . . . according to the angular position of the movable plate 2B when the movable plate is driven to rotate by means of an actuator 15. This allows the amount of pressurized fluid discharged by the pump to be adjusted.
  • each pressure chamber 12A, 12B . . . operates to introduce the fluid in an induction mode, compressing the fluid in the compression mode and discharging the pressurized fluid in the discharge mode.
  • One compressor cycle is completed by sequence of operations of induction mode, compression mode and discharge mode.
  • the rotor 4 is driven by the engine driving torque input through the cylindrical shaft section 4b.
  • the rotor 4 is thus rotated in the direction R as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the volume of the pressure chamber 12A, 12B . . . increases gradually to create force for drawing the refrigerant from the induction chamber 8, during the induction stroke.
  • the volume of the pressure chamber is gradually reduced to compress the refrigerant in the pressure chamber to increase the pressure of the refrigerant.
  • the pressurized refrigerant is fed through the outlet 13B, the discharge chamber 11 and the discharge port 9a to the condenser.
  • the rotor 4 and the cam ring 1 are heated by the heat created by compression of refrigerant. Since the rotor is driven by the engine, rotation speed is proportional to the engine revolution speed. Therefore, at the high engine speed range, the heat value created becomes greater to heat the rotor and the cam ring at higher temperature. On the other hand, when the vehicle is driven at high speed, the cam ring exposed to the atmosphere is subject to the relatively high rate air flow to cause lowering of the temperature to increase the temperature difference between the cam ring and rotor. If the material of the cam ring and the rotor is the same, the top clearance may be reduced to cause contacting of the rotor and cam ring.
  • the cam ring 1 and the rotor 4 are made of light metals, such as aluminium type metal with different linear expansion coefficient in causing thermal expansion.
  • the metal forming the cam ring 1 is selected to have larger linear expansion coefficient than the metal for forming the rotor 4.

  • the material for forming the front and rear side plates 2 and 3 and the rotor vane 5 is also selected to have smaller linear expansion coefficient than the the metal for forming the cam ring 1.
  • the metal of the cam ring 1 is so selected as to maintain the top clearance and side clearance within a predetermined range, in relation to an initial setting of the top and side clearances.
  • the setting of the top and side clearance is done so that an optimum top and side clearance C 1 can be obtained at normal driving state, at which the temperature difference between the cam ring 1 and the rotor 4 is t 1 .
  • the metal of the cam ring 1 is so selected as to have the linear expansion coefficient in relation to the metal of the rotor 4 to maintain the top clearance at higher speed range. Namely, in the shown example of FIG. 3, when the vehicle speed is higher to cause rising of the temperature of the rotor in a magnitude of T 2 , and when the cam ring 1 is subject cooling effect due to radiation of heat for lowering the rising magnitude of temperature at T 1 because the cam ring 1 is exposed to the atmosphere as shown in FIG. 1, the top clearance C 2 is maintained approximately equal to the optimum top clearance.
  • the cam ring 1 At the vehicle low speed range, since the cam ring 1 is exposed, it is still subject air flow to be cooled for slightly lowering the temperature in comparison with the temperature of the rotor 4, the top clearance is slightly narrowed from the optimum clearance C 1 but maintained close thereto.
  • the metal of the cam ring 1 and the metal of the rotor 4 is so selected as to maintain minimum top clearance C 3 at a normal temperature range where temperatures of the cam ring 1 and the rotor are equal to each other.
  • the metal of the rotor 1 is so selected as to have the linear expansion coefficient in relation to the metal or resin of the side plate 2 or 3 to maintain the side clearance even at higher speed range or the normal temperature range, as shown in FIG. 3.
